(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the image reproducing apparatus according to the first embodiment.

  The image reproduction apparatus 100 includes a control unit 101, a display interval determination unit 102, a memory 103, a timer 104, an operation unit 105, and a display unit 106.

  The control unit 101 controls the operation of the entire apparatus including the display interval determination unit 102, the memory 103, the timer 104, the operation unit 105, and the display unit 106.

  The memory 103 stores image data.

  The operation unit 105 receives a user's desired operation. For example, image data stored in the memory 103 is selected.

  The timer 104 sets the reproduction time of the image data and manages the current time.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the display unit 106 displays a first display area 107 that displays the image data selected by the operation unit 105 and a calendar that is created from time information managed by the timer 104. Two display areas 108 are provided.

  When the display unit 106 displays image data on the display unit 106, the display interval determination unit 102 determines a display interval according to the number of image data selected by the operation unit 105.

  Next, the operation of the image reproduction device 100 will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for displaying image data of a desired date.

  The operation unit 105 selects a desired date from the calendar dates for one month displayed in the second display area of the display unit 106, and goes to step S101 (step S100). In this embodiment, the calendar display is displayed in units of one month. However, the calendar display is not limited to one month as long as it is within the range that can be displayed in the second display area.

  Image data having a shooting date corresponding to the selected date is retrieved from the memory 103, and the process goes to step S102 (step S101).

  The number of called image data is calculated, and the process goes to step S103 (step S102).

  The reproduction time per image is determined according to the number of image data, and the process goes to step S104 (step S103).

  The image data is switched and displayed for the display time determined in step S103 (step S104).

  FIG. 4 shows the display time for each image when a plurality of image data is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, for example, the time for completing the reproduction of all the image data in a round is set to 20 seconds, and the minimum display time per image is set to 3 seconds.

  FIG. 4A shows a case where there are two pieces of image data associated with the selected date.

Since the time for displaying all the image data is 20 seconds and the image data to be displayed is two sheets, the display time of the image data per sheet is 10 seconds. Therefore,
The reproduction of the first image data is started, the image data is switched to the second image data in 10 seconds, and further reproduced for 10 seconds. Thereafter, the above operation is repeated from the first image data.

  FIG. 4B shows a case where there are four pieces of image data associated with the selected date.

Since the time for displaying all image data is 20 seconds and the number of image data to be displayed is 4, the display time of image data per sheet is 5 seconds. Therefore,
Playback of the first image data is started, switching to the second image data in 5 seconds, and further playing for 5 seconds. Thereafter, the image data is switched every 5 seconds in the order of the third and fourth images. When the playback of the fourth image is complete, the above operation is repeated.

  FIG. 4C shows a case where there are 10 pieces of image data associated with the selected date.

Since the time for displaying all the image data is 20 seconds and the image data to be displayed is 10 sheets, the display time of the image data per sheet is 2 seconds. However, since the minimum display time per sheet is 3 seconds, it takes 30 seconds to display all 10 image data. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the reproduction time per image data from becoming too short. In addition, the length of the playback time per image data is a measure of how many image data are associated with the selected date.
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of an image reproduction apparatus according to the second embodiment.

  In the image reproduction apparatus according to the second embodiment, the display interval determination unit 102 in the digital signal input apparatus according to the first embodiment is replaced with an additional information determination unit 201. Since the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, description of each configuration is omitted.

  The operation of the image reproducing apparatus configured as described above will be described below.

  When the calendar is displayed in the second display area of the display unit 106, the additional information determination unit 201 displays image data to be added to the date / time information of the calendar according to the number of image data selected by the operation unit 105. Determine the information that represents the total number.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for determining additional information in the calendar.

  The operation unit 105 calculates the number of image data having shooting dates corresponding to all dates in the calendar for one month displayed in the second display area of the display unit 106, and goes to step S201 (step S200). .

  The icon to be added to the calendar date is determined in the second display area of the display unit 106 according to the number of image data (step S201). In the second embodiment, an icon corresponding to the number of image data is determined from the icons as shown in FIG. The icon 202 is selected if the number of image data is up to 5, the icon 203 is selected if the number is 10, and the icon 204 is selected if the number is 15 or more. For example, if the image data of the shooting date of February 12 is five, the icon 201 is selected as information to be added to the location indicating February 12 in the calendar display. Thus, a calendar display as shown in FIG. 8 can be performed from the number of image data taken on the date displayed on the calendar.

  In the second embodiment, the additional information is displayed on the calendar date in order to express the number of image data. However, the calendar date itself may be displayed by a different expression method.

  The present invention relates to an image reproduction apparatus capable of reproducing sound image data, and more particularly to a slide show display capable of continuously displaying a plurality of image data, even when there are a plurality of image data for each date. It is possible to provide an image reproducing apparatus that can express how much data is present. Therefore, the present invention can be applied to a device that records a lot of digital data, such as a digital camera.
